Minuteman Project to issue major planning statement - Organizers reviewing project's future, direction
April 17, 2005 (Tombstone, AZ)---On Monday, April 18, organizers of the Minuteman Project will be issuing a major statement on the immediate and long-term direction of the project.
Rumors have been circulating that the project might cut short its originally planned month-long monitoring of a 23 mile section of the Arizona-Mexican border by citizen volunteers. The project's cofounders, Chris Simcox and Jim Gilchrist, said it would be a mistake to think the border will be abandoned. "However, our overwhelming early successes along with more recent developments have caused us to review how best to direct the project the rest of the month and beyond, " Simcox said.
The project has generated national-indeed, worldwide-attention and controversy. President Bush alluded to the project's volunteers as "vigilantes." Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus and an outspoken critic of the president's immigration policies, said the volunteers were "heroes in my book." Tancredo has invited the leaders of the project to travel to Washington DC and report on the project to the members of his caucus.
Project organizers said they have been deluged with messages of support along with requests from citizens of the other border states to organize similar Projects in those states. Gilchrist said all issues would be addressed on Monday. The statement will be issued at 12:30pm in Tombstone from the office of the Tombstone Tumbleweed newspaper, 312 Toughnut Street.

Yes I can count, on the Minutemen, not the ACLU
Now, that's a hoot.
Yup, us dum stupid hillbillies actually trust people to tell tha trooth. But from what I've heard about you on this site and others, I'll make an exceptshun.
Pat is getting older and wants to enjoy all the money he has made. Plus his name is about worn out.
Tancredo is a fresh face and fresh blood. He will probably make a lot of money for Pat.
Go back to your Ficklin.
"Nothing but praise for the MMP on Tancredo's website."
Shhhh......it's a double secret MSM poll!!
You know that they have that PAC together. Anyone that sends money to Tancredo needs to realise that Pat and Bay benefit from the donation.
"illegal alien Armando Garcia who fled to Mexico and is living free under the protection of Presidente Fox"
For the same reason we're not suprised he avoids commenting on threads about Illegal aliens slaughtering cops, raping children, or dealing drugs.
There you go again!
Proof please....waiting....waiting....
Why do you think Bay traveled with Tancredo down to the MMP kick-off? I heard that she gave a rousing speech.
Oooh, I see, it's "common knowledge". Sorry, apparently I'm not "in the circle", just a dum missouri girl who says "show me" (sorry it's our state motto).
At least people are donating THEIR money to them by choice. You people getting your labor subsidies are the ones that need to be ashamed!
What, you aren't getting the daily aclu or splc briefings/ talking points? :)
This will also explain why Tancredo has taken his recent shot at Delay.
What's in it for you?
No, you are wrong. I'm just a BushBot that does this for fun.

You arguments are not doing much for Bush. Neither are his own statements or the policies of his administration with respect to this issue.
Ad hominem attacks do not make ideological friends.
The Americans who are negatively impacted by this issue do have memories and vote.
Most are knowlegeable enough not to blindly follow anyone including the President on issues that personally effect their lives.
More reasoned arguments would gather more support.
Kudos! Hope if you feel "lead" to do this, you will let us know your experiences there!
Who is your political leader?
It's probably not this guy:
Put some ice on it, buddy.
